We did this one day elephant itinerary with Elephant Jungle Sanctuary and it’s now one of my favorite travel memories. SO fun and highly recommend – we fed the elephants, bathed them in mud, played with them in the river (they were acting like dogs but 20x bigger!), made them medicinal food, and went on a 2 hour hike with them.
